Safe Sport Club Recognition Program Relaunch
To: Coaches and team leaders, LSC Executive Chairs, LSC General Chairs, LSC Permanent Office and LSC Safe Sport Chairs
With the launch of the new SWIMS database, we are excited to provide greater transparency in your club’s progress to achieve approval in USA Swimming’s Safe Sport Club Recognition (SSRP) program.
Starting November 7, 2022, the SSRP program launched with new and exciting features, including the ability to track names of club participants who have completed SSRP training online, a more seamless and user-friendly application process as well as maintaining all future growth as information will not be erased each year. In addition, both a club admin and the club’s Safe Sport coordinator will have access to the program dashboard. These roles can be assigned during the club’s registration or afterwards in the portal.
Please be patient with the launch of these new features. This will be a new and exciting time for our USA Swimming member clubs who are either starting the SSRP application process for the first time or renewing. However, we do expect a larger than average amount of USA Swimming member clubs to submit for approval. These enhancements will help USA Swimming members show their commitment to going above and beyond, and we want to provide the best possible experience and guidance for your clubs Safe Sport Recognition approval. Currently, we are expecting a 30-day turnaround in the approval process.
